Nathan: Northern parts of Poland were heavily populated by Germans. Poles were minority there. Moreover, these people were not willing to be part of Poland, but you decided it differently for them, right? So, why do you insist on calling Pomorze Polish then? You occupied their lands.
I'm not sure what you are talking about - your knowlegde of history seems to be somewhat compromised :P
well you claim Poland bullied it's neiboughrs - and I say from the best of my knowlegde Poles claimed only Polish majority territories from Czechoslovakia in 1938 - prove me wrong - and lo and behold these people were pretty indigenous there and not migrated there in less than the perspective of hundreds of years
btw Polish inhabitants of Wilno area were not settlers for the most part - they were indigenous people who became polonized in the course of 18th and 19th centuries with no Polish state present
Bratwurst Boy: Borrka: Exactly the way Germans colonized Pommerania ! Perhaps you don't know it but what you call "Northern parts of Poland heavily populated by Germans" used to be Slavic and part Polish lands before German annexation. And before that it used to be german lands before Poles wandered westwards and settled there... We had been there before you, interesting how you keep to forgetting that!
well Bratwurst one can argue if the Germans had such right to resettle because it is quite probable that those Germanic tribes who used to live on the southern Baltic coast simply moved out and went for search of warmer lands - like those Vandals who used to live in southern Poland but ended up in Algeria and Tunisia (with no Slavic tribes involvement) - many scholars believe Slavs encroached west on what were mostly emptied lands
